After the order was tabled and made public, given the extraordinary nature of the situation, we of course communicated with various representatives of the financial industry, including the Canadian Bankers Association, Desjardins and other associations, so they could question us about how the process would be carried out. We spoke with those representatives, and they knew they were ultimately responsible for making the decisions. They knew that the RCMP could provide them with information, which it did. They also knew they had an obligation to review their client relationships constantly to ensure no individuals or entities were using funds illegally.
